450: Girl, don’t you feel guilty saying this?

Takizawa Toshiaki passed away peacefully.

As his last wisp of life disappeared, the Secret Realm's rules thoughtfully disposed of him, ensuring not a single molecule remained.

Thus, the first match of the Global Prodigy Competition's individual main event concluded with Wang Chen's victory.

When he was teleported back to the high platform from the battle arena, the entire main stadium was silent. After half an hour of visual torment, all the spectators looked at Wang Chen with a hint of awe.

Wang Chen is undoubtedly strong!

Without using his full power, he killed Takizawa Toshiaki in a head-on confrontation.

In the eyes of all spectators, Wang Chen was now a strong contender for the title of the world's number one Prodigy.

However…

All the spectators realized that while Wang Chen was strong, his courage was also sky-high!

In front of over a hundred thousand spectators in the main stadium, and hundreds of millions of viewers across Blue Star watching the live broadcast, he slowly carved Takizawa Toshiaki into sashimi.

This was tantamount to repeatedly trampling Sakura Country's face into the ground.

It could be said that he had thoroughly offended Sakura Country!

Just look at the angry little gazes of the Sakura Country contestants and spectators; they could be used to light a fire.

But regarding this,

Wang Chen himself felt no pressure.

At this moment, the host walked onto the high platform, cleared his throat, and loudly broke the strange, quiet atmosphere in the venue.

“Let us congratulate Long Country's contestant Wang Chen for successfully defeating Takizawa Toshiaki and becoming the first contestant to advance to the second round of the individual main event.”

“Next, please allow Wang Chen to step down and rest. At the same time, please invite the two contestants who drew ball number one to the stage for their match.”

After the host's words fell, Wang Chen politely nodded to him, then leaped down from the high platform.

At this time,

The two contestants who drew ball number one, passing by him, involuntarily tensed their bodies the moment they walked past, looking at him with a hint of dread.

Evidently, they were frightened by the tragic scene in the battle arena earlier.

However, not all contestants were like this. The people from Sakura Country stood in the crowd, glaring fiercely at Wang Chen, their faces openly showing their anger.

Noticing this scene,

After Wang Chen walked down from the high platform, he directly looked at the remaining four contestants from Sakura Country with a smile.

“If we draw each other next, should we also have a death match?”

Hearing Wang Chen's words, the four Sakura Country contestants' expressions changed drastically, the anger in their eyes instantly turning into fear. One of them even trembled and took two steps back.

He looked as if he had seen some monstrous flood beast.

Seeing this, Wang Chen shook his head disdainfully and withdrew his gaze, somewhat bored.

“It seems that killing Takizawa Toshiaki with brutal methods has achieved the desired effect.”

“From now on, these guys will have to seriously consider the consequences if they want to cause me trouble.”

Thinking playfully to himself, Wang Chen returned to the Long Country team.

He understood clearly in his heart that people fear fame just as pigs fear becoming fat. Someone like him, who became famous at a young age, would definitely face a lot of trouble in the future. Not all of it would be malicious, but challenges would certainly be unavoidable.

By dealing with the threat of Takizawa Toshiaki today, those who had thoughts of challenging him in the future would likely feel apprehensive.

Returning to the team,

Before Wang Chen could even greet them, Lu Tingyi, who had always been quiet in the team, suddenly stepped forward, her usually calm eyes showing ripples of emotion.

“Wang Chen, how did you manage to control the Wind Blade Technique with such precision, performing micro-operations?”

Looking at Wang Chen, Lu Tingyi asked curiously, appearing eager to learn.

Wang Chen had just demonstrated astonishing micro-control over the Wind Blade Technique during the battle.

One must know that most Awakeners can only lock onto a general area when casting long-range skills, but what Wang Chen had just shown—hitting wherever he wanted—simply left her in awe.

Wang Chen was startled by her words, not expecting the quiet Lu Tingyi to ask this question.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:

“Actually, it's very simple. Nothing but sheer practice!”

“As long as you increase your proficiency in using the Wind Blade Technique, you can completely control its trajectory and landing point at will.”

The Wind Blade Technique could be said to be Wang Chen's only long-range magic attack skill since he became a Awakener. He naturally put a great deal of effort into it. If skills had proficiency displays, he would probably have reached MAX by now!

Of course, to achieve what he did in the battle, strong Mental Energy, or rather, the Wisdom attribute, was also required.

Lu Tingyi frowned, shook her head, and said:

“It's definitely more than that. Although I haven't learned the Wind Blade Technique, I have mastered several other long-range magic attack skills, and I've certainly practiced them longer than you have.”

“But I still can't perform micro-operations like you do.”

“Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, how about we have a match tonight so I can experience it firsthand?”

Saying this, Lu Tingyi looked at Wang Chen with gleaming eyes, her face showing an impatient expression.

“This… I don't think that's necessary!”

Wang Chen was stunned, glanced at Du Jijun beside him, then directly shook his head and refused.

Are you kidding?!

Senior Sister Lu is a battle maniac. She enjoys the process of combat and places extreme importance on winning and losing.

If he competed with her, losing wouldn't be much trouble, but if he won, he would have a lot more headaches in the future. Just look at Du Jijun; he's often dragged to the arena.

Without holding back, Wang Chen believed he would never lose, so it was better to keep his distance.

Hearing his words, Lu Tingyi was somewhat disappointed, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together, seemingly not understanding why Wang Chen would refuse her suggestion.

Frequent combat is very beneficial for improving one's combat power.

“Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, you don't need to worry about getting hurt. I will be very careful with my attacks.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Tingyi said carefully.

“Pfft!”

At this moment, before Wang Chen could reply, Chai Yue, who was beside them, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He really couldn't understand how this girl could say such a thing with a straight face?

Although he didn't study at Southern Saint University, he had long heard about it.

Every time Lu Tingyi and Du Jijun went to the arena for practice, one of them would inevitably end up in the school's infirmary for a few days afterward.

“Tingyi, don't misunderstand. I'm not laughing at you.”

Noticing Lu Tingyi's terrifying gaze fall upon him, Chai Yue quickly covered his mouth and explained:

“I'm laughing at those two contestants who drew ball number one. Their fight is too interesting.”

Hearing his words, Lu Tingyi suspiciously withdrew her gaze and glanced at the live broadcast screen.

“Two weaklings pecking at each other, interesting?”

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chen quickly moved next to Chu Youxiong.

Among his teammates, each one was a problematic youth. Only Senior Chu was somewhat reliable!
